The Nikon Z8 is a Mirrorless Digital Camera with a Full-Frame sensor and a Nikon Z lens mount. Its 46 Megapixels CMOS sensor offers an ISO 64-25600 sensitivity range which is expandable to ISO 32-102400. This makes it possible to shoot hand-held in very low-light. With 46 MP of resolution, sharp prints are possible up to 35" x 23" at 240 DPI.
A builtin 5-Axis Image Stabilization mechanism allows the Nikon Z8 to compensate for camera shake up to 5.5-Stops beyond hand-holding with any mounted lens.
This camera features an electronic shutter that can expose for 1/32000 to 15m. Bulb exposures of an unspecified duration are possible with this camera. With a fastest shutter-speed of 1/32000, fast action can easily be frozen. Night photography is possible using this digital camera due to its long exposure capability. This camera model offers Full Manual Controls.
The Nikon Z8 features a 493-point Phase-Detect AF system. Autofocus can continuously adjust according to subject distance. A Real-Time Autofocus Tracking System allows focus to follow a moving subject within the frame. Manual Focus is also available.
Dual controls-dials offer direct access to most exposure parameters which makes this digital camera suitable for advanced photographers. The weatherproof construction of this digital camera protects it against adverse weather, dust and moisture. This particular model is also freezeproof down to -10C. Framing on the Nikon Z8 is performed via a 0.50" Built-in EVF with 3.7 Megapixels. This extra large EVF has 0.80X magnification and shows 100% coverage.
